Action Control is a mode incorporated into the Nikon COOLPIX AW100 digital camera. When the camera's action control is set to ON, you can control certain functions of the camera simply by swinging it in the air. The default setting is HIGH, which means that even if the camera is shaken by a small amount, it will register. When set to LOW, a large amount of movement is needed to register by the camera.
When wearing gloves, it’s not always so easy to access the various buttons on a camera—but the COOLPIX AW100’s Action Control makes it simple. Via the action button, (located on the side of the camera) you can set the camera to perform certain shooting/playback functions or display the current location on a map during playback. Then shake the camera in a single up/down or forward/backward motion to perform the selected function.
